The Rip Raps.


STONE THAT COULD BE UTILIZED FOR THE MEMORIAL.
BRIDGE.
To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
About as far back as when, away out west first
commenced to read the National Inteuigencer, I
noticed in the congressional proceedings the an
nual appropriation for the Rip Raps, the name
attracting my boy1sh attention. do not remem-
Der to have read OF any such appropriation during
the last half century. The Rip Raps were foun-
dalton OF loose stone dropped in Hampton Roads
two or three miles from Fortress Monroe on which
vast sum OF money was afterwards expended in
an attempt to erect thereon a great fertilization
OF granite. TWO years ago visited this rorttfca-
ton and was astontshed TO see how much money
had been wasted there. There are hundreds OF
immense blocks OF dressed granite not in place,
and thousands OF greater blocks In the walls. The
construction OF the fertilization was abandoned,
on account of the tnsuffciency OF the foundation,
and the material Is OF no value now, except
as quarry OF dressed stone. This stone could
easily be put upon transports and carried where
1T might be pro1tably used. 1 suggest that this
vast amount OF valuable stone, which is utterly
useless where 1t now is, might be USED in the con-
struction OF the piers for the proposed Grant Me-
mortal bridge across the Potomac.

The mild weather has enabled the work on build

have been resumed. There is very little new work
begun, and from information obtained from archi-
tects and builders 1t is impossible to say anything
about the prospects Of the coming season. There
is of course, considerable talk about building but
SO far 1t is nearly all talk The general impression
will be quite active.
